    Oh Kayalana! Yes, I know what taxidermy is :( as a vegetarian, I'm not going to look - but its legal, you know ... don't feel bad, please! Sorry you had to take some listings down too, that sounds weird ...

    You're not going to like, or even approve of, everyone who buys from you. Back in the day, when I worked for small, pretty far out organisations, there was always a big debate if the charity should accept money from organisations it deeply disapproved of. Some said no, others were more pragmatic and said, well, we can't always be dealing with people who think like us, better to spread the word, better to liberate some money from their clutches into ours! And thats the way I think :)

  • Thanks, I need some new ones and I'm trawling ebay looking for cheap vintage ones! and I'm sorry but its funny that it blanked out my word..... wasn't even a swear word lol
  • Ooooooo I had a dreadful experience today!


    There was a mix up at work and I nearly didn't have a job! - well had my contract cut!


    It was all sorted super quick. But it totally freaked me out! I was thinking how insecure my life is! I don't own my own home and my job is very temporary. VERY temporary.


    really this week is (another) one of those weeks that I have my eyes fully open to these life of mine.


    hope all is well with every one

    Buffy glad things turned out ok in the end.

    I can appreciate how scary it must have felt.

    I agree it sometimes takes a shock like the one you had today to make you realise how precarious our situation can be.

    Do you have a second income stream. If not perhaps that's something you could look at - might make you feel a bit more secure knowing you had a fall back.

    Well it looks like this delegating malarky is definitely the way forward for me. I am getting quite creative with it.

    I have arranged for a young woman to sell my bits and bobs online for me. I really am not very good at that kind of thing - I have neither the time nor the patience,.

    So she will market the stuff for me and get a percentage of the profits for her trouble.

    She's a sahm so can work as and when she pleases. It will save me a lot of time.

    A classic win-win solution to both our needs……

    Scaffolding started going up today. No wonder it is costing £1800 including the licence - 8 men x 2 days work….They are not making much profit from me.

    And it started raining - poor guys.
